Beach weather - how to predict it

Suppose you wanted to calculate the temperature of the beach in San
Francisco and you lived about 30-60 from the beach. How would you know
if it was hot or cold at the beach, given your own weather conditions?

Google is your friend.

Which beach? The automated weather sensor at SFO can be reached at
650-872-0246. Not much beach at the airport, though. Be more specific. The
FAA has weather sensors at airports all around the Bay area.

I use yahoo weather and if it's predicting, sunny, warm, and very light
winds, I go to the beach.
If it's predicting anything else, I stay away.
I also use accuweather.com.

Pardon me, did I just stumble upon the online version of "Ask Marylin"
from the Sunday Parade insert? :-) Why make your life difficult with
calculations that may or may not be accurate. The Weather Channel and
many other resources, like The Weather Underground exist. Use your
favorite search engine and put in search terms "beach weather" without
quotes where beach is the beach town where you want to know the weather.

For SF go to www.kpix.com www.kron.com www.kgo.com All local TV stations.

I'm probably just stating the obvious here, but be aware that the WATER
temperature (as given in marine forecasts) only changes very slowly
over time. The AIR temperature (which is what most weather forecasts
give) can change considerably from day to day.

Still, it's almost always goose bump weather at the ocean beaches
in the SF area except on those rare occasions when the warm winds
from the east are blowing (usually in autumn). At these times
people flock to the beaches, but not into that leg-aching water.

In San Franciscospeak, The Beach is the one at the Eastern end of Golden
Gate Park, usually from Lincoln Way to Balboa. All other beaches are
called something else beyond their neighborhoods.

Not much beach at the airport,

Then what do you call where the wind surfers go under the flight path?

The automated weather sensor at SFO can be reached at 650-872-0246

It ain't hard:
If you're thirty minutes from The Beach, say the Ferry Building, and
it's a hot day, it's likely to be 15° cooler. If it's a warm day, it's
likely to be ten degrees cooler.

If you're thirty miles North of The Beach and it's a hot day, it's
likely to be 25° cooler, 20° on a warm day.

If you're thirty miles East of The Beach and it's a hot day, it's likely
to be 30° cooler, 25° on a warm day.

If you're thirty miles South of The Beach on The Coast, it's likely to
be about the same, if inland but not near The Bay on a hot day, it's
likely to be 20° degrees cooler, 15° if it's a warm day.

The only time there's not a significant temperature difference is when
the wind's coming from the East. The only time it's warmer at The Beach
is when it's very cold.
